I worked very closely with the owner when we had Tsillan constructed in 2007. He had previously made 5 trips to Alaska on his last boat and was specific in how Tsillan was to be optioned and outfitted. It was nice to work with a gentleman that had very well found opinions and made great decisions in her commissioning. She is a fabulous American Tug 41!

Tsillan was built for an experienced yachtsman and includes many special touches. She has the Cummins QSC-540 common rail engine, Onan 9Kw gensest, Village Marine 600 watermaker, Nick Jackson 3-axis crane, Raymarine electronics suite with 3ea multifunction displays & 48-mile open array radar.

Get the best cruising guides and unlock the secrets of the Salish Sea.

Mark Bunzel at Fine Edge publishes the very best cruising guides and planning books for cruising the northwest. I have always relied on the yellow "Exploring" series books. A few years ago I discovered the new "Dreamspeaker" series and they are a great compliment to my on board library. Mark has generously offered a 15% discount on all of his books to the American Tug family.

San Juan Yachting would like to add a couple of Tugs in their charter fleet

The very best charter fleet in the pacific northwest would like to help pay for your American Tug!

I had a great conversation with Rick Sale, manager of San Juan Yachting in Bellingham, WA. He said they need a couple of tugs and he can keep them working for you. His conservative pro-forma shows that just over half the cost of your tug can be paid by others; and that is before any depreciation or tax advantage is figured in, which can really save you.

Rick sent me the cash flow projections for an AT-41 and AT-34. Lightly pre-owned boats such as Forever Friday (AT-34) or Cinnamon Girl (AT-41) cash flow extremely well. I would be happy to forward these pro-formas, just call 206-321-2164 or email me at: steve@expeditionyachtsales.com
